Sample Sunday 40

Sample
Sunday is a weekly posting from my pre-published work in progress Eternal Curse:
Giovanni’s Angel. Each week I will post approximately 100 – 150 words from this
installment of the series. Please visit the
ToiBox to read samples of my other works.

Eternal
Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 9

He stood upright, floating in the center of
his room next to his bed, looking around at the burning sheets and rugs with
smoke rising up from them.

Giovanni
cried into the claws he now called hands. He could hear Abraham waking from his
sleep and rushing to get by his side. Giovanni couldn’t bear to relive this
nightmare by telling it to his devoted friend, so he decided he had to get
away. He spun around rapidly and then turned to open the window. Then he flew
out, pulling most of the fire out along with him.

Abraham
rolled into the empty room still filled with intense heat. He extended and
pulled his fire extinguisher in the general direction of Giovanni’s bed and
slowly moved closer. Once he realized that all was safe, he rushed up to the
window Giovanni had left slightly opened, but he was too late.
